1. Textile
1.1. Dispersing agents for the dyeing of Textile fibres
Borresperse CA: Calcium lignosulphonate @ pH = 4,5. Biopolymer with dispersing properties that turns faster and more homogeneous the dyeing of polyamide and proteinic fibres (acid dyes) synthetic fibres (disperse dyes).
Borresperse NA: Sodium lignosulphonate @ pH = 8,3. Particularly suitable for the dyeing of cellulosic fibres with reactive dyes.
Ultrazine NA: Sodium lignosulphonate @ pH = 8,3. Particularly suitable for the dyeing of cellulosic fibres with reactive dyes. Due to its high molecular weight, it results in higher colour uptake than what happens with Borresperse NA, maintaining the property of make the colour very uniform.
Ufoxane 2: Sodium lignosulphonate @ pH = 8,3. A high-performance universal dispersant, suitable for dyeing any type of textile fibre with any type of dye.
1.2. Coatings
Vanisperse CB: Sodium lignosulphonte of high purity, specific for disperse pigments in coatings formulations. It has very low content of insoluble matter (< 0,07%) and is completely free of reducing sugars.
Exilva: Microfibrilated cellulose with rheological properties. Beside the ability of increase the coating viscosity, It generates a film with high mechanical resistances.
2. Leather
2.1. Tanning
Softacid Tan V: Organic acid with 50% of vegetable content. Sustainable alternative to formic acid in pickling. In chromium or GDA tanning, it results in better distribution of tanning agents, giving a fuller and more compact product. It has a very pronounced effect in the reduction of loose grain.
2.2. Retanning
Borresperse CA: Calcium lignosulphonate @ pH = 4,5. This biopolymer helps to distribute tannins and colouring agents, as well as acting as a filling agent.
Borresperse NA: Sodium lignosulphonate @ pH = 8,3. Excellent dispersing agent. Biological (vegetable origin) alternative to naphthalene sulphonic acids.
Softacid Tan V: Organic acid with 50% of vegetable content. Sustainable alternative to formic acid in fixation steps of the process.
2.3. Coatings
Exilva: Microfibrilated cellulose with rheological properties. Beside the ability of increase the coating viscosity, It generates a film with high mechanical resistances.
3. Adhesives
Borresperse CA: Calcium lignosulphonate @ pH = 4,5. Beside the natural adhesive properties of lignosulphonates, this biopolymer has a high content of reducing sugars, which turns it particularly interesting for incorporation into aqueous adhesives formulations. As a formaldehyde scavenger, Borresperse CA also helps in the stabilisation of containing formaldehyde adhesives.
Exilva: Microfibrilated cellulose with rheological properties. Beside the ability of increase the adhesive viscosity, the incorporation of this product into adhesives formulations improves the performance of the final product, generating a better distribution of the adhesive along the substrate and increasing the strength of the binding.
4. Paints
Vanisperse CB: Sodium lignosulphonte of high purity, specific for disperse pigments in paints formulations. It has very low content of insoluble matter (<0,07%) and is completely free of reducing sugars.
Exilva: Microfibrilated cellulose with rheological properties. Beside the ability of increase the paint viscosity, It generates a film with high mechanical resistances.
5. Construction
Exilva: Microfibrilated cellulose with rheological properties. Exilva can be used in cementitious systems, like concrete and mortar, to maintain a homogeneous material mix and prevent segregation. Is particularly suitable for a non-sticky cementitious system. Even a small amount of MFC gives high viscosity at rest, stability and rapid viscosity build-up.
